A Chinese "Church" in New York.


Pedestrians up and down Chatham
street, or, as it is now known, Park row,
have noticed an unusually large number
of Cinnamon arrayed in holiday attire
passing in and out of the narrow hallway
of POP Mott street. 1t bears the name of
"Joss," and tells the devoutly inclined
Celestials that the temple is upstairs
The altar is Of carved ebony, practically a
large frame for the picture of Joss and his
attendant deitieS, executed on satin in the
most elaborate style of Chinese art, and a
heavy table for holding the incense burn
ers and votive offerings. The chairs and
tables are in the same style of rich Orien-
tai carving and the room is lighted by
carved lanterns hanging from the ceiling.
The walls are hung with Chinese notices,
the air is heavy with incense and it is
hard to believe that we are in New York
and not in Cathay.
/ noticed large proportion of the wor-
shippers would come in, make their Obei-
sance to the altar, burn few prayer
sticks and go out. Some, however, re-
manned longer time and gave the priest
sums varying from 25 cents to $1.OO. In
response to my inquiry the old priest said:
"a man can say all that he wants to in
three minutes, so he have three minutes
for nothing; if he have good deal to say
he pay % cents for next three minutes, so
for next three, and so on. No good to
pray too long" Then he added after
moments reflection: "In Mclean church
Liam talks an hour and everybody pray
two hours or two hours and half, then
make collection beg to pay minister
Chinese way, 500 or 600 people pray two
hours; we make $4,000 or $1,000" The
system strikes me rs a good one. 1t pays
the expenses of the temple and discOur-
ages garrulity With it's dingy exterior
the Chinese of New York have now one of
the most richly furnished places of wor-
ship in the city.-Allan Forman in Chi

The Brig w. H. Meyer.

The brig w. II. Meyer, which sailed
from Port Townsend for Hilo, Hawaii,
February 28th, returned to the above
port two days later, the crew having re-
fused to proceed on account of the vessel
carrying too much deck load. She dis
charged u, 900 feet, which was sold for
1882, and when ready to get under way
the ungrateful men deserted. Another
crew was shipped at So per month in
crease of wages.

Special Despatch.

HARTFORD, CT, Aug. II, 1857
The Post, Of this city, prints in
to-day's issue a full page article on
the Tortilita Gold and Silver Mines
of which Mr.. Joseph III. Real, (w no
is being urged for Vice-PreSiden'
on the ticket with Cleveland as the
representative of the Agricultural
and Laboringinterests) is president.
The Post shows that the Tortilita
Company have one of the greatest
mining properties in America and it
estimates that with the forty stamp
mill that is now being arranged for,
which will crush $50 tons of ore
per day, that the company can earn
over one hundred thousand dollars
per month net, or over one hundred
per cent. per year on its capital
stock which would make the shares
that are now selling to subscribers
for 81 each, the par value, at the
company's office, 81 Broadway, N
y, worth over twenty dollars each,
while this result can be again doub-
led by additional stamps as the COM
pdnv have an ineNhaustiblc supply
of rich ore. y second Virginia
City is predicted in connection with
the Tortilitas as the company have
twelve developed and proven mines
out of which over $l50,000 in bull
ion was taken while the exploring
and developing work was goirg on
which, together with the prices now
being realized for the shares so soon
after they were put upon the mark
ct are uneXampled facts in the his.
tory of mining. The Post pronoun
ces the Tortilitas one of the best and
cleaneSt cut enterprises that the
public ever was invited to invest in.
The stock is attracting much atten.
ton throughout New England and
is being largely taken for invest
ment by bankers, merchants, farm.
erS, and by working men and wo-
men. tits announced that the sub
cription books will close in Il few
days preparatory to the stock being
called on the Consolidated Stock
Exchange. The offices of the com
pany are at 81 Broadway. New

selves with stock Of Electricity.
II think I'll take my electricity, " said
a member of Congress as he came out
of the House into the lobby. II feel all
worn out; that last speech has almost
exhausted me. Won't you come along?"
he asked of afellow-member.
II don't mind" the second Congress
man replied. II think little will do
me good. too"
The two members got on the elevator
and went down to the basement to take
their electricity. It is quite the ''fad''
nowadays for the members to take cleo
tricity. An electric apparatus has been
fixed up in the cngine-room in the base
ment, and daily the members avail
themselves of the opportunity to get
freshened up. A board, with tooth
piece of copper, is placed beneath the
great belt of the large engine wheel,
and the electricity thus generated is
carried of by q wire attached to the
board, which is long enough to be
grasped by one who sits in chair near
by. The circuit is completed by the
person holding the wire grasping a
small brass chain attached to the railing
around the engines wheel. The system
is thus filed quietly with electricity.
The members say it is splendid after
they have been out 10 receptions and
suppers all night, or they have ex-
hausted their brain power by speech
making or listening. A great many
members take electricity, and some go
